Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Actually there were no on campus housing facilities, these appartman houses were the accomodation provider of the university. I would choose the same housing again because I really liked the fact that I was living together with a finnish and a french guy in the same appartman. Thanks to this interantional atmosphere now I look back as the best year of my life.

Personal comments
I can surely say that the housing facilities were above any expectations regarding the location and the space we got there. The accomodation was just next to the university half on hour from the city centre.

Personal spending habits
Telephone: I didn't call to home cause I used email and all friends here lived so near that I didn't have to use phone. I travelled lot in here and I had quite active nightlife. But before I came here I knew it already that I'm going to travel a lot. Place where I lived is very expensive and electricity here is very expensive also.

Course recommendations
There was a wide range of courses to choose. I was studying European Business Management inculding subjects like: Finance, Business Management, International Marketing, Irish culture, German, Business English, and so on. I personally really liked that the teachers were approachable any time. They also implemented different team works which in my oppinion definetely encouraged the students to not to be afraid of sharing their own ideas and oppinions any time.

Personal comments
In Ireland the English is native language. I already had to have a good command of English to be able to get the Erasmus Scholarship. First it was a little bit difficult to understand the Irish because they have accent, and they speak fast. After I got used to it. At AIT we studied general and Business English, so I studies a lot of new things. And with the other students I used English, so my communication skills in English is very good now.
